I am delighted to pass on the news that after a process of discernment within the Community, Sister Bev has been elected ‘Minister Provincial of the European Province’ of the Community of St Francis, and will take up her office in February 2022. We congratulate her, recognising what a significant task she is taking on. And at the same time as expressing our delight, we are also sad as it means she will be leaving Queen’s at the end of this term to prepare for her new role. We are already in the process of reviewing Chaplaincy support within the Foundation, and Sister Bev is assisting with that process. We shall need to make interim plans for the remainder of the academic year. But that’s for later. For the moment, let’s celebrate with Sister Bev!
